Phyllostachys aureasulcata spectabilis bamboo

Phyllostachys aureasulcata spectabilis is also known as showy yellow groove bamboo.

It’s ideal for screening or creating a private area in the garden. This bamboo produces pinkish new shoots and grows thick yellow canes with green stripes. It can grow up to 8 metres in height and bears thin lance-like leaves.

This large evergreen is an attractive bamboo, which can sometimes remain in clump form if the soil is poor and the climate is cool. However, in a sunny spot and well drained soil this impressive suckering bamboo can spread to provide excellent coverage. If you need to retain the bamboo, simply plant in with some rhizome barrier fabric to prevent it appearing in unwanted spots around the garden.
